Salmon & Trout Fishing


Anglers target chinook salmon, coho salmon, lake trout, steelhead and brown trout in the waters of Lake Michigan.  This isn’t a very popular port compared to some of the other areas in Michigan, but there are several fishing charters available here and you can go out in your own boat as well.


Smallmouth Bass Fishing
